Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by Exeter City Council has successfully awarded the "Contract 1. Accommodation Support Services" to Julian House. This contract, under the services category specifically in social work services with accommodation, involves providing housing support to 23 units for single homeless households and rough sleepers. The procurement utilised a direct awarding method without competition, deemed necessary as Julian House is the sole provider capable of delivering these services. This process concluded with the contract's start on 1st August 2025 and is set to end on 31st March 2026, with the activity regionally situated within the South West of England (UKK4). The total gross amount for this service stands at £130,560.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses operating within the accommodation and social service sectors, particularly those able to offer niche support services for the homeless. While the direct award limits competitive bidding, other businesses can leverage this example to enhance their service offerings or foster collaborations with local councils for future similar procurements. Companies within the UK that have an established presence in social work, particularly those focusing on housing vulnerable populations, may find growth potential in understanding and aligning with such direct service provisions.
